Xedzodzoekope is a fishing village on the north shore of Lake Volta in the Afram Plains region of south-central Ghana. This is one of the 4 Ghanaian villages participating in our NSF-funded ALCCAR project.* Four villages in Tanzania round out the research venues. Xedzodzoekope (we say &quot;Hedge&quot;) residents fish the impounded waters of the Volta for their livelihood, augmented with cassava, yams, maize, peppers, and a few other staples. Tilapia, anyone?
